Eyes are windows wide open to the world. We get 90% of the information through vision and use our personal video channel so actively that due to constant overload it starts to fail.
Is it time to give him a prophylaxis?
Vigilance Test:
1. Move this page to your outstretched arm (about 60 cm). Are the letters clearly visible? The maximum limit of clear vision is normal.
Failed to read the text? Visual acuity is reduced, and this is due to myopia or other eye disease that will help identify an optometrist.
2. Slowly bring the page closer to your eyes, noting your feelings: first the letters will be clearly visible, and then they will begin to blur.
Ophthalmologists call this distance minimum limit of clear vision. It increases over the years: 7 cm - at 10 years old, 15 cm - in 20, 17 cm - in 30, 25 cm - 40 and 40 cm - at 50 years old.
This is due to age-related changes leading to the development of farsightedness.
Do not fit into the norm? Do gymnastics for the eyes, and after 2-3 weeks, repeat the test and immediately notice the changes for the better.
GYMNASTICS FOR EYES
For myopic:
On a window glass at eye level, attach a black or red mark 0.5 cm in diameter. The distance to the mark is 33 cm. Look from the mark to the tree outside the window: 2 days 3 minutes each, 2 days 5 minutes each, 16 days 7 minutes each, course 30 days. If you wear glasses, wear them.
TIP: Do an exercise for a month, and then give your eyes 2 weeks of rest and start all over again.
-For farsighted:
Without glasses, read a few lines first with one and then with the other eye at a minimum distance from the text. Train your eyes in this way for 3-5 minutes several times a day. Having mastered this exercise, complicate it: from time to time move the book away from your eyes and return to the previous distance. As a result, there is a kind of “massage” of the lens that hinders its hardening: it must maintain plasticity, easily changing its shape in order to focus images of objects located at different distances on the retina. When the lens loses this ability, hyperopia (presbyopia) begins to progress. Although it is called age, it can manifest itself after 30 years!
TIP: Be attentive to your sensations: if after such gymnastics your eyes are tired, rainbow circles appear in front of them, a feeling of “heaviness” or “bursting” occurs, stop classes and consult a doctor.
Many people are shy about wearing glasses. A convenient alternative - one-day contact lenses 1-dayacuvuetrueye. They are invisible, are not felt in the eyes and do not require special care.
Vitalux Plus contains Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, lutein, zeaxin, antioxidant vitamins (C, I, E), copper, zinc - elements that effectively improve eye health.
Ophthalmic agent Systeyn Ultra relieves the sensation of dryness and burning sensation in the eyes immediately after instillation, providing long-lasting protection of the eyes and improving the quality of vision.
EXPERT OPINION
Dry eye syndrome - Another common problem that is addressed to ophthalmologists. How to help the eyes in this case, says Professor Vladimir Vsevolodovich Brezhesky, head. Department of Ophthalmology, St. Petersburg State Medical University.
The letters seem to blur on the monitor, periodically there is a burning sensation and itching, it seems as if "sand" got into my eyes? Often, such symptoms occur with dry eye syndrome. The reason is the lack of moisture. Working at the computer, we blink much less often, which means we moisturize our eyes less often - hence the unpleasant sensations. However, poor cosmetics, dry indoor air, poor nutrition, cigarette smoke, and even some medications can cause deterioration. Special remedies, for example, drops of an artificial tear, help to correct the situation - they moisturize the surface of the eye well and restore comfort. If the problem is only associated with high visual loads or dry indoor air, this measure is sufficient. When choosing drugs, pay attention to the price: cheap drops are often unsophisticated solutions of synthetic polymers and do not have additional healing properties. In addition, they are quite liquid, and they should be used more often. A better look at the appointment with the ophthalmologist: the doctor will help you choose the right tool.
